Hi everyone I live on the edge of woodland and so have many pests, such
as
slugs and snails, crawling up from the bush - but the worst by far are the
moles that topple plants, disturb carefully laid small cobble patios, kill
perennials and shrubs. I can forgive the piles of dirt on the lawn
because
grass soon fills in but killing much- loved plants is very discouraging.

Are you sure it's the moles doing the damage? They don't eat plants just
insects and worms. I guess the tunnel might cause problems. They won't
effect a well laid patio. If they do it wasn't laid properly in my opinion.
As for the lawn. Thats the main problem area grrrr.
